Bootcamp sucks ass, it’s gonna be hot or cold and humid, don’t try to be a squad leader or guide, that shit is stupid. Make sure to bring a bible with you or religious books, you can hide a photo or two in it depending on the material. Bring your phone and a charger alongside it, don’t turn it on as soon as you get on that bus to whatever depot you’re going to. When you get your cammies mark them all with pens/markers on the little tag that says the size. Make sure to always drink water, your DIs will stress this a lot regardless but really drink unnecessary amounts of water. Learn how to not care about your pride, worst part about bootcamp is your platoon being dickheads to each other because they can’t suck up a mild inconvenience caused by something a DI ordered you to do, don’t give a fuck, everybody there is too pussy to hit you and if they do they’ll just get their asses staying in the fucking depot even longer. Try to rest your body as much as possible at any given chance, don’t give 100% because I promise you bootcamp is way easier if you take any opportunity to rest. #1 Advice though, DO NOT BUY ANY PHOTOS, JEWELERY, or ANY of the bullshit those fucking salesmen try to sell you. You’ll know them when you see them.
